If I Had Been With Jesus.....
13th in a series on how men and women in the Bible deal with waiting, disappointment and unemployment If I Had Been With Jesus….. Ever heard someone say that? It’s so easy to trash the disciples and criticize them for their weak faith and silly behavior. We fall into that evolutionary trap that assumes that since we are living in the modern age then we would certainly be smarter than those people who lived 2000 years ago in tents or adobe houses and wore sandals and togas. Not so fast. I want to use the Apostle Peter as an example of someone we love to pick on. Of course, we have the advantage of 20/20 hindsight, but I believe we’ll all see ourselves through Peter’s good, bad and misinformed perspective. Matthew 14:28 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” Charlie Brown, in one comic said, “If we learn by our mistakes, I must be a genius.” Peter, believed in Jesus one minute and then the next he was all wet
